[NOBBC] Dean and Sheryl - web site?

"Some day when you folks get things in order, maybe I'll see you at a ride."

Really?  Is this necessary?  Little digs like this are not only unprofessional, but cause those who are volunteering their time and efforts to question why they are doing so.  We're all volunteers with day jobs and other responsibilities.  Let's show a little respect to those making an effort.  If you're unhappy with the set-up, just leave, but please keep the sniping to yourself.

 I  joined this group a long time ago. I haven't shown up for many rides in a long time. I accept that things change.
  When I joined this group, the basic concept was to keep it on the cheap; some like minded guys with old Brit sports cars bring a bag lunch and a tank of gas, and they DRIVE. They stop and eat somewhere along the road. I remember us stopping all kinds of very informal places. It was about driving.
   I guess the group is now about PROMOTION. Well, promotion costs money. To what gain, I ask? I've always found the best promotion for this group was word of mouth/face to face. But that's just my experience.
   I believe you're missing out by not going with the yahoogroups.com setup.
You're not going to be bombarded with advertising. I've moderated a group with well over three hundred members and a lot of traffic for ten years, and it's worked great for this worldwide group of S3 owners.
   At this point, I've asked Greg to remove me from the roster. See, what I really like about the yahoogroup setup is that even as the moderator, i receive no email to clutter up my inbox or even my junk mail (which is where the NOBBC has been with me for a long time, organizationally speaking).
Instead, I just log in when I want to check my mail. I like it simple.  Some day when you folks get things in order, maybe I'll see you at a ride. Keep the rubber side down... best wishes, Tom Reier
